On November 22–23 2012 students from four universities were invited to Ingolstadt to show and discuss their projects with the Audi Design team.

The invited schools were the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava (Slovakia), Scuola Politecnica di Design in Milan (Italy), the Offenbach University of Art and Design (Germany) and the Royal College of Art London (Great Britain).

The young designers talked with the Audi team about visions and trends in design and emotionality.

“University collaborations like this are an excellent opportunity to recruit young professionals,” says Wolfgang Egger, head of Audi Design. “Many designers have taken this path to a job at Audi.”

All in all, 42 students designed 46 models concerning mobility, materials and emotions. Among them were potential solutions to traffic issues during Expo Milano 2015.
